Is that a good idea? Vaseline is a petroleum-based product and the door seals are rubber...

Halfords Rubber & Vinyl Lubricant.

Yellow spray can. Stops exactly this problem on my lotus.

Also, spray some in the channels the window slides in, and marvel at how much faster they are.

Halfords spray works wonders but watch the overspray as it goes everywhere....

Ok, time to give a couple of reasons why you women have no common sense

The other day walking around Tesco's with AJ she points out of the window and excitedly says, 'look kenny, a scoob' At this point I alert her to the fact that there are another 15 scoobs all lined up and she was in fact pointing to nobles forecourt....duh!!

Then today, we drove past a Jaguar garage with a forcourt or some 30 odd jags when AJ says....'whats the car in the red....<she moves to get a better view>......oh, its a jag! Chathink

Saxo Boy - it's quite obvious to ANYBODY that your girlfriend hasn't got any common sense...

Talking

Time to defend myself I think!

I have never been to Nobles or Tescos in Penicuik before in my life. We had a wander round the forecourt and then headed off to Tescos for the shopping. From the back of the shop (I think and hope ) I saw a scooby parked up across the road and said to Kenny there's a scoob across the road. At that point the look Kenny gave me I will never forget. I just wanted the ground to swallow me!!

Then today driving past the Jag garage I saw a red XK8 convertible but it had the hard top on and it just threw me, didn't quite look like an XK8!

I'm not perfect

You may have a point and there is possibly a better product available but.......

.....I think that applying a thin layer of petroleum based jelly which admittedly may slightly degrade the rubber, is preferable to having the seals ripped from the door frame when you realise they are frozen solid and you still gotta get to work IMHO anyway

AJ... Are you gonna stand for that kind of talk
